Forum for Employment, Income and Social Security
The Forum for Employment, Income and Social Security is a space for dialogue, deliberation, and convergence between the representatives of the Brazilian federal government and representatives of social movements, trade unions, NGOs and experts on topics related to employment, income and social security. The forum was launched in 2015 as an asnwer to pressure exerted by the trade union movement to be considered in the discussions on fiscal adjustment promoted by the government that year, particularly in view of preserving rights in a context of economic recession. In 2016, this forum decided that its main agenda would be to search for convergence with the Brazilian social movement on the reform of the social security system.
